I loved being able to experience Italy here in the small town of Urbino and am extremely grateful for the opportunity I was given to come here. Urbino is a home away from home with the atmosphere and people.Everyone is so eager to help even with an language barrier. It was an eye opening experience that encouraged me to step out of my comfort zone and seize every opportunity. The people that I’ve met, the food, and the amazing views will always stay with me wherever I go. I will miss the friendly people of the town, my wonderful professors who taught me so much, the translators who were willing to help with anything and all the new friends that I’ve made while studying here. This program has made me grow so much in photography, video, and writing and I look forward to take what I've learned while being here and apply it to other projects.
